The International Order of Gorillas & Flynn's Arcade T-shirts.

Found a new online t-shirt company that produces remakes of t-shirts from movies and fictional companies. I'm fascinated by this concept. That there are actual items that you can purchase, that carry with them the abstract concept that a fictional thing is actually a real thing. I really dig that.

I guess it also serves as a nice shorthand to people around you what your tastes are, without broadcasting it. If I have my "I've Got Wood" t-shirt on, you can guess that either A.) I'm a fan of "Shaun of The Dead" or B.) I get erections so consistently and of such magnitude that I can advertise them publicly. I'm fine with either interpretation, actually. But if I'm wearing my "Venture Industries" t-shirt and a co-worker high-fives me for it, then that's a good feeling too.

That said, I doubt I'll get a whole lot of high-fives for this "International Order of Gorillas" t-shirt from "Real Genius". But it's still funny to me. I'll probably have to get one.



I fancy that "Cadaceus" t-shirt from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" too.

And then there's THIS little item. A t-shirt from Flynn's arcade from the movie TRON. There's actually a few different designs for Flynn's arcade floating around on the internets. But this is the best one I've seen, yet. I am probably going to have to get one.



I don't know when I can plug them into the budget. But I'm going to have to set aside some cash for these sweet babies. Because I want to send the following messages to people that I pass by...

A.) I like the movie "Real Genius".
B.) I am politically active for the civil rights of Gorillas.
C.) I like the move "Tron".
D.) I play old-school video games that you've never heard of in an old-school arcade that you've never heard of either.

Cheers,
Mr.B

PS. DAMN! That "Flynn's Arcade" t-shirt is calling to me. I think I gotsta get that thing.
